Sustainability at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ
As a responsible business, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ takes its duty to the environment and respect for the planet seriously, which is why we are committed to becoming Net Zero and Nature Positive. Our sustainability strategy is underpinned by scientific rigour to meet the highest standards of accountability. To deliver our objectives and support the wider media sector, we are working collaboratively with suppliers and creative peers, across the UK and beyond, to develop a sustainable industry on and off-screen.
One of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s core purposes is providing clarity on matters of fundamental public importance. On the unique, universal subjects of climate change and biodiversity loss, it is our mission to inform, educate and inspire through our content and programming.
We know we have to match our unrivalled, international reputation for bringing the natural world and environmental content to audiences with the care we take to reduce our environmental impacts off-screen.
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ is a signatory of the Climate Content Pledge and co-founder of the Journalism Climate Commitment, which demonstrates our commitment to output that is relevant, evidenced by the latest science and remains impartial. We pursue the truth without campaigning, in accordance with the .
Here's how we intend to do deliver upon our three Sustainability pillars
- Nature Positive: Managing our impact on nature to do more good than harm to our planet
- Net Zero: Adopting a decarbonisation first approach that is underpinned by the science
- People Positive: Informing and educating audiences on the most pressing issues facing our planet
These pillars guide all our activities – from the way we make programmes, to how we manage our buildings and to how we engage with our suppliers and partners.
